My understanding is that a repository contains all the changesets. And
each changeset is just a patch, which is available directly (hg diff),
or via http://hg.ojn/ (which itself is perfectly searchable with
Google). Why would one need another copy of the changes nowdays?
Whilst exploring the history of webrev versions for a particular fix
does indeed help sometimes, this looks quite inapplicable for external
contributions since the internal robot is not available to them. And
submitting all the versions manually through a Sun employee seems sort
of burdensome.
